How do you add maps?? I tried the posted instructions, but the options were grayed out??

I dont understand why people keep asking the same question that was ANSWERED clearly (given that you know how to work with FlashMX - otherwise, you cant do anything for right now).

the only thing traekwon forgot is adding this step before step 4:
-. put the playhead in frame 2

Quote:

to add a new map :

1. import a graphic for your map (i.e. Baghdad)
2. CTRL+L opens the library, look at the list of maps and find a free number (i.e. map13)
2. select the graphic, and then Insert > convert to symbol
3. make it a movieclip and name it that free number (i.e. map13)
4. click to select the 'worldmap' list box component on the upper right
5. double click to edit the 'labels' data - and add the map name for your new map in a new row at the end. (i.e. Baghdad)
6. double click the Data list to edit it, and add a numeric entry to coorespond to your new map at the end of the rows. (13)
7. on the top left, there are four small black squares. One of them is named 'getTG', it's the 4th from the left - click to select it, and then right click, and then click on 'actions' to view the code.
8. find the code that looks like this:

Code:

worldcount = [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]

and add another 0 to the end of the list:

Code:

worldcount = [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]

at the end of the code, there are lines that look like this:

Code:

_root.worldlist.replaceItemAt(12,"Netherlands ("+worldcount[12]+")",12);

add another entry, and change the numbers and names to coorespond. Using our example:

Code:

_root.worldlist.replaceItemAt(12,"Netherlands ("+worldcount[12]+")",12);

_root.worldlist.replaceItemAt(13,"Baghdad ("+worldcount[13]+")",13);

thats it, it should work - if you edit your maps, the coorseponding data on the server side will be wrong for that map.

to remove maps, you can do the opposite steps:

to remove maps :

1. load the .fla file
2. relax
2. relax
3. put the playhead in frame 2
4. click to select the 'worldmap' list box component on the upper right
5. double click to edit the 'labels' data - and remove the map names that you want to remove
*6. double click the Data list to edit it, and remove the numeric entry to coorespond to your removed map.
(the renumbered would be [0,1,2,3,4,5,6,7]

7. on the top left, there are four small black squares. One of them is named 'getTG', it's the 4th from the left - click to select it, and then right click, and then click on 'actions' to view the code.
*8. find the code that looks like this:

Code:

worldcount = [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]

and remove #0 coresponding to the # of maps that you removed in the list:

Code:

worldcount = [0,0,0,0,0,0,0,0]

at the end of the code, there are lines that look like this:

Code:

    _root.worldlist.replaceItemAt(0, "World ("+(worldcount[0]-1)+")", 0);

    _root.worldlist.replaceItemAt(1, "USA ("+worldcount[1]+")", 1);

    _root.worldlist.replaceItemAt(2, "Europe ("+worldcount[2]+")", 2);

    _root.worldlist.replaceItemAt(3, "UK ("+worldcount[3]+")", 3);

    _root.worldlist.replaceItemAt(4, "Canada ("+worldcount[4]+")", 4);

    _root.worldlist.replaceItemAt(5, "Australia ("+worldcount[5]+")", 5);

    _root.worldlist.replaceItemAt(6, "Japan ("+worldcount[6]+")", 6);

    _root.worldlist.replaceItemAt(7, "California ("+worldcount[7]+")", 7);

    _root.worldlist.replaceItemAt(8, "Texas ("+worldcount[8]+")", 8);

    _root.worldlist.replaceItemAt(9, "Hawaii ("+worldcount[9]+")", 9);

    _root.worldlist.replaceItemAt(10, "NY/Toronto ("+worldcount[10]+")", 10);

    _root.worldlist.replaceItemAt(11, "Florida ("+worldcount[11]+")", 11);

    _root.worldlist.replaceItemAt(12, "Netherlands ("+worldcount[12]+")", 12);

remove the entry, coresponding to the removed map(s).

Code:

    _root.worldlist.replaceItemAt(0, "World ("+(worldcount[0]-1)+")", 0);

    _root.worldlist.replaceItemAt(1, "USA ("+worldcount[1]+")", 1);

    _root.worldlist.replaceItemAt(2, "Europe ("+worldcount[2]+")", 2);

    _root.worldlist.replaceItemAt(3, "UK ("+worldcount[3]+")", 3);

    _root.worldlist.replaceItemAt(4, "Canada ("+worldcount[4]+")", 4);

    _root.worldlist.replaceItemAt(5, "Australia ("+worldcount[5]+")", 5);

    _root.worldlist.replaceItemAt(6, "Japan ("+worldcount[6]+")", 6);

    _root.worldlist.replaceItemAt(7, "Netherlands ("+worldcount[7]+")", 7);

thats it, it should work - if you edit your maps, the coorseponding data on the server side will be wrong for that map.

I would suggest to re-number the entries in step 6 and 8, for example, if you removed the US states maps, the numbers would be like in the exampled.

the attachment is the flash file that have only world map.
Thanks traekwon for releasing this hack, hope you dont mind if we change the codes (as you release the code, and show us how to change it)
